Comparison of Energy Needed to Heat Greenhouses and Insulated Frame Buildings Used in Aquaculture

The document discusses the comparison of energy requirements for heating greenhouses and insulated frame buildings used in aquaculture. This work highlights the challenges of overheating in unventilated greenhouses during summer and the high heating costs due to low insulation values. It emphasizes the importance of ventilation and cooling systems to maintain optimal temperatures for aquaculture operations. The document also explores the differences in initial costs, energy efficiency, and expected lifetimes between greenhouse structures and frame buildings. Recommendations for improving energy efficiency, reducing heating costs, and enhancing overall operational effectiveness in aquaculture facilities are provided.
